  • The Warlord by Gena Showalter just went live!! — “For centuries, Taliyah Skyhawk has prepared to become Harpy General, leader of the deadliest female army in existence. One of the requirements?

There has never been a woman alluring enough to tempt him from his path… Until now. With the clock ticking, war between husband and wife ignites.

  • Bombshells by Sarina Bowen just went live!! — “This is my last chance to ditch my playboy reputation and finally fulfill my potential. So I’ve made three rules for our biggest season yet: no boozing, no women, and no scandals. Especially that last thing. So who do I befriend on the very first day back at the rink? An amazing female hockey player [who] gets her heart broken by my teammate, and I make the foolish mistake of comforting her in the best way I know how. Our night together sets off a string of sins. Nobody can know about our affair…”

  • Mr Smithfield by Louise Bay just went live!! — “Wanted: American nanny for an adorable four-year old. Must be able to handle a moody, brooding, sexy British boss. I’m a single father, a lawyer and some say the most serious man in London. I’m completely focused on raising my four-year-old daughter. Since my wife walked out three years ago, the only woman who has ever caught my eye is the strictly off-limits sister-in-law of my best friend, Autumn Lumen. But temptation is easy to resist because Autumn is only visiting London from Oregon. Until she moves to London. The nanny quits. And she’s the only woman for the job.”

  • My One Night by Carrie Ann Ryan just went live!! — “She didn’t want to go to another party, but when her friend pulls her in, she somehow finds herself hiding in a corner with…him. The smirking, so-called good guy with the shadows in his eyes. A single glance, a sweet smile, and she lets herself have one night of giving in. Only she has to promise herself not to fall in love. No matter the cost. He never expected her. She haunts his dreams more than he cares to admit. He never thought he stood a chance—until she said yes. When a single night turns to two, he know he’s in over his head, but somehow, she makes him believe he can have anything. Until the sun rises, and his past along with it…”

  • Second First Impressions by Sally Thorne just went live!! — “Ruthie Midona will work in Providence’s front office, and be at the Parloni’s beck and call, forever. That’s sort of her life plan. If Ruthie can run the place in her almost-retired bosses’ absence, with no hijinks/hiccups, she has a shot at becoming the new manager. She might also be able to defend her safe little world from Prescott Development, the new buyer of the prime site. Maybe after all that, she can find a cute guy to date. All she needs to do is stay serious—and that’s what she does best. Until, one day, someone dazzling blows in to town…”

  • A Battle of Blood and Stone by Sawyer Bennett (Chronicles of the Stone Veil series) just went live!! — “The first order of business is to unlock the angelic powers with which I was gifted at birth, and Carrick insists on getting help from my archnemesis to do so. Yes, I have to save the world, but my priority has now become rescuing my sister… In the midst of all the doom and gloom, Carrick has become my beacon of shining light. Our connection unimaginable, my heart recognizes his as the other half of its whole. Inexplicable and deeper than one could ever imagine, the love I hold for him is forged by destiny, however ill-fated it may turn out to be….”

  • The Virgin Rule Book by Lauren Blakely goes live this week!! — “Let me make a few things clear. I didn’t go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended. But you know how it goes. Things just happen at weddings… The next day, he and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous, all-star baseball player might be my brother’s best friend, but he’s my friend too and has been for years, so it’s easy to move on, especially since I have a high-profile business to run. But since he’s newly single and I’m always single, it turns out we both desperately need plus ones…”

  • How to Catch a Duke by Grace Burrows just went live!! — “I have come to ask you to kill me, my lord.” Miss Abigail Abbott desperately needs to disappear—permanently—and the only person she trusts to help her do that is Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden. Stephen is brilliant, charming, and—when he needs to be—absolutely ruthless. So ruthless that he proposes marriage instead of “murder” to keep Abigail safe. Stephen was smitten the instant his sister introduced him to Abigail, a woman with the dignity and determination of a duchess and the courage of a lioness. When she accepts his courtship of convenience, he also discovers she kisses like his most intimate wish come true. For Abigail, their arrangement is a sham to escape her dangerous enemies. For Stephen, it’s his one chance to share a lifetime with the lady of his dreams—if only he can convince her his love is real.”

  • Every Time I Fall by Lexi Ryan just went live!! — “He’s my brother’s best friend. The hot guy with the heart of gold I’ve never let myself want… I’m content to be his buddy and nothing more. Or so I thought… I know from the first kiss that I’m going to fall hard. That this can’t last, and the end might break me. But, for these days and nights with him, all the hurt might be worth it.”

BOOKWORM NEWS:

  • Southern Heart by Natasha Madison just went live!! — Her: “Coming back home was supposed to be normal… Then I opened the door and found a man—broken, bloodied, and fighting for his life. I don’t know why, but I said I would take care of him. I had to. Needed to. He was a mystery, showing up from out of nowhere. But he might have already stolen my heart.” Him: “The only thing I have ever wanted in my entire life was to forget who I was. Joining the military helped me do this… Everything was working until a knock at the door had me face-to-face with the reason I was running…”

  • My Almost Ex by Piper Rayne just went live!! — “In the middle of a crowded bar in our small town, my estranged wife snuggles up to me as if we’re still a happy couple. Don’t get me wrong, we were a happy couple—before she walked out on me a year ago. We were the high school sweethearts everyone thought were destined to be together forever. We thought so too, which is why we married shortly after graduation. We had a good marriage. Until she left me without any real explanation. Now, she’s back—and this is the real kicker—she has amnesia and thinks I’m still her husband…”

  • Say You’re Mine by Layla Hagen just went live!! — “I swear I didn’t mean to flirt with [him] especially not right in the middle of an interview for a job. It was a slip—or perhaps a gut reaction to his smoldering eyes and deep, sexy voice. To my total disbelief, they give me the assignment. My task is simple: advise him and his band on how to communicate with their fans. Easy-peasy. Or so I thought… I can handle the job, but the sexy lead singer who’s intent on getting under my skin might be too hot to resist… But our lives are too different. His life is under constant scrutiny. I thrive on freedom and spontaneity. I like exploring the streets of New York and meeting up with my siblings without needing security detail. But when we’re together, all our differences fade, and I can’t get enough of this man. And he won’t quit until he makes me his.”

  • You Love Me by Caroline Kepnes (You series) just went live!! — “Joe is done with the cities. He’s done with the muck and the posers, done with Love.

He’ll win her the old-fashioned way… “

  • Wild Beauty by Audrey Carlan just went live!! — “My life has never been easy. Not from the day I took my first breath until now. Only days old, I was placed in a laundry basket and left in front of a firehouse. I never knew who my parents were before being shuffled around from one bad foster home to another. Until the day I arrived at Kerrighan House. My safe haven. My home. I was welcomed with open arms into a world where love and sisterhood were the rule, not the exception. From that moment on, I believed I was safe… As I try to pull my life back together, I’m brought face to face with a man whose wounds mirror my own…”

  • Headhunter by Kristen Proby just went live!! — “He’s always been immersed in society’s shady underbelly. Learning to navigate it and keep to the edges was working just fine until an acquaintance turns up missing, and he fears the worst. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he hasn’t stopped thinking about her. Luckily, as an ex-special operative, he’s uniquely qualified to track her down and keep her safe…”
